Free shipping from Japan! Thank you for viewing this listing. OUTLINE is a Japanese watch brand founded by Yoshimasa Kikuchi, a longtime editor of watch magazines with extensive experience in the industry. The brand honors the golden age of mechanical watches from the 1940s to the 1960s, aiming to let users enjoy the vintage style of that era in everyday wear. The name "OUTLINE" reflects this concept, meaning a summary or synopsis of that timeless period. This special bracelet was created by OUTLINE specifically for Rolex models with 4-digit reference numbers, making it a unique accessory for vintage Rolex enthusiasts! This is the original rivet bracelet by OUTLINE (Model Ref. YK20201-1). It has been worn only once and remains in like-new, pristine condition. Flash fit (end links) size: 20mm Links have been removed for adjustment, but extra links are included as shown in photos. Designed with inspiration from iconic 1960s diver watches, this bracelet fits models such as the Submariner and GMT-Master. Note: Compatible with Rolex Submariner 5513, Explorer I 1016, and GMT-Master 1675. Although not officially a Rolex-specific design, it fits many 4-digit reference vintage Rolex watches. Minor adjustments may be required due to individual case variations. Not compatible with 5-digit reference models or newer when used with the flash fit. A faithful reproduction of the rivet bracelet worn by Rolex in the 1950s! In fact, this bracelet is a faithful reproduction of the so-called "Rivetbracelet" that was used on Rolex sports models from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s. In making this watch, we focused on reproducing the Rivetbracelet of the time as faithfully as possible. One of these is the construction of the bracelet links. In the 1950s and 1960s, the watch bodies were small and light like today, so of course there were technical problems at the time, but the bracelet itself was thin and light. In order to reproduce this feeling, we finished it with the same hollow type as at that time. Moreover, this bracelet incorporates another revolutionary idea that was not present in the original bracelets of the time: the ability to shorten the links of the bracelet with a precision screwdriver means you can adjust the length yourself. The flash fit bow hook, which is a part for attaching to the case, is made to be similar to the original Rolex bow hook, Ref. FF580, so it can be attached to the GMT Master (Ref. 1675), Submariner (Ref. 5513), and Explorer I (Ref. 1016) (some adjustments may be necessary due to individual differences). The spring bar is not a regular one, but is compatible with the thick type used by Rolex. In addition, a part called a flashfit is included. By attaching this to the end piece of the bracelet, you can enjoy attaching it to various watches with lug widths of this size. (Spring bars are not included) Key features: Faithful reproduction of bracelets used on Rolex sports models from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s. End links closely modeled after Rolex Ref. FF580, compatible with vintage Rolex cases. Manufactured by Bambi, Japan’s leading strap maker. Adjustable with a precision screwdriver.
